To use Mlox, simply drop the file you downloaded earlier into your Morrowind folder and double-click to execute it.
Once Mlox is open, click on "Update Load Order" if needed.
The Message Box is a helpful tool, but remember that Mlox checks for EVERY rule connected to your modlist and may include warnings about plugins you haven't installed. Therefore, it's important to carefully read the information and check that it's relevant before taking any action.
This fork of Mlox is self-updating, so you won't have to worry about getting the program's latest version or the mod load order rules.
Extract into Data Files.
IN-DEPTH WRYE MASH GUIDE > <
Download "Wrye Mash 2021 - x64 - beta6 - manual installation archive" or x86 depending on your system.
Extract into your
Morrowind
folder.Open the new
Mopy
folder and findmash64.exe
. Double-click to run it.All Wrye Mash needs to know is:
Where your Morrowind is
Where Mlox (you have a handy "detect Mlox" button.
Where the mods you'll download are. Just select Morrowind/Mopy as we won't be using this feature of Wrye Mash.
There isn't much to it right now. Look under the "mods" tab to see and select the mod. By default, Morrowind.esm, Tribunal.esm and Bloodmoon.esm are selected since they are the base game. The GoG version comes with the official plugins that you can also select for now.
Look at the bottom left corner of Wrye Mash, you'll recognise the Mlox icon. Click on it to sort your newly selected mods.
There's also a shortcut for Morrowind, but it's still not the one we'll be using!
Finally, because we have tes3cmd, we can now clean mods directly from Wrye Mash:
select one or multiple mods, right-click, select "clean with TES3cmd"
if you have MANY mods, the process will take a while.
(Yes, the official Bethesda plugins are not clean))
Create a tes3merge folder in your Morrowind folder and extract the content of the archive there.
Locate tes3merge.exe and double-click.
Let it do its things
You'll notice a new plugin has appeared in your Data Files folder: Merged Objects.
